Free Bioshock if you buy Bioshock 2

[achilleas.k]

I'd buy it if I wasn't limited to 5 installs because I'm considered a criminal.

I wouldn't worry about that on Steam.

 

[TheodoreLuke]

Free game i already have, Hooray!

 

[Reep]

Which platform would you guys reccommend? Is the Pc version just as good as the console versions?

 

[Chancie]

That'd be cool since I haven't played the first one yet...but if it's only for the PC, count me out. I prefer my games to be on consoles. I just enjoy them more that way.

That would be a good deal if Bioshock wasn't terrible.

What didn't you like about it?

 

[DustyDrB]

My excuse is I'm a wuss and can't handle BioShock.

 

[MGlBlaze]

Cite a source, please.

Although such a deal would be good for people who have not played the original Bioshock, for people like me it is useless as not only have I already played it, I have no friends whom to give a free game.

lol, says the one with a steam acc

Well, I don't check the Steam Store all that often, so I was unaware of it. Even if I did know, however, I would still have asked him to cite the source because clearly a bunch of others also did not know.

My excuse is that Digital Distribution is for the sucks.

 

[azncutthroat]

Huh, it was a featured story on the Escapist... [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/97598-Pre-Order-BioShock-2-on-Steam-Get-BioShock-Free] Wonder why no one noticed that...

 

[Tom13ombadil]

when Oblivion decided to come with it is when you lostthe excuse not to have it.

Oblivion owns.

Correction!

Digital Distribution is for trashy people.

I'd assume most people WANTING Bioshock 2 will own Bioshock one, so it's a bit pointless.
Unless you sell it, then you get profit.

 

[Tiny116]

now you have no excuse not to play bioshock.
it says 10/2 as release date. i didnt know it's that close.
mass effect 2 blinded me.

Link?? That may well tempt me?

Well lets see see. There's inconsitent hit detection (aparently splicer heads are non corporeal). There's the fact that plasmids are completely useless in every sense of the word except where the game forces you to use them (and even then I'm better off using the wrench in cases like Peach Wilkens). Then there's the fact that splicers can take two machine gun clips of antipersonel rounds without dieing on the later levels, coupled with the fact that you get enough ammo to...how did Yahtzee put it? Oh yeah, "worry half a scout troop." I had to beat a an elite bouncer to death with a wrench because I quite literally had no ammo whatsoever, and the plasmids I had (Fire 3) didn't even do enough damage to kill a regular splicer without using every last drop of eve I had. The fact is, you don't know what over rated shit is until you've played Bioshock, so for everyone reading this, stop complaining about Halo and MW2.

It's funny, every one of the issues you mentioned is undeniably present in the game, but I still loved it.

I found that I was able to get past the problems with the shooting mechanics, high level enemies with no visual indications of thier higher power, clunky aiming and the awful, blocky character models.

Why?

Because the city of Rapture was just such an amazing place to explore and learn about. It was the little details that captivated me... the neon signs, or art-deco woodwork in the Theatre, or the Neon Signs over the shops in Fort Frolic...

The story was also fantastic.

But you definately have a point, it had a lot of technical issues that hampered the fun somewhat.

Did you actually try to use the Plasmids at all?

Most of your other complaints are about the weakness of none Plasmid weapons (problems that I never noticed) so is there a reason you didn't use Plasmids?

There is no excuse in the world for bad gameplay. It's the most over rated piece of shit ever.

when I light someone on fire five times, I expect them to die. My wrench was more efficient at killing than level three plasmids.
